There is a long waiting list to see a specialist, how can I make a private appointment?
Your GP will need to make a private referral on your behalf. A private referral can speed up the process and avoids waiting lists. Once you have seen a specialist you may be able to have further treatment/investigations on the NHS. An initial consultation with a specialist can cost approximately £100-250, however, this is a guide only and prices may vary. It is likely that the neurologist/neurosurgeon you see privately will be the same person as you would see on the NHS. If you are having difficult obtaining a specialist private referral, try contacting the private patient manager of your nearest hospital and they will be able to provide you with information about the process.
